A Massachusetts mother stands trial for killing her three young children, with the central legal question being whether she was suffering from untreated postpartum psychosis at the time. While both sides agree she caused the deaths, the defense argues her medical providers failed to diagnose and treat her condition — a rare but severe mental health emergency that can include hallucinations and paranoia. Experts stress early intervention is critical, often requiring hospitalization and medication. This case exposes the fragile line between mental illness and criminal responsibility, forcing the legal system to confront the devastating consequences of untreated postpartum psychosis.
